How to get compensated from Air France on Genoa (GOA) - Paris (CDG)

Your Air France flight from Genoa to Paris was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 701 km, Air France is bound by a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA)
  • Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
  • Flight distance: 701 km (~0h53)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Contrary to what {many think|Air France might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

How to know if the flight Air France Genoa - Paris is eligible?

Whether your Air France flight Genoa-Paris was delayed or boarding was denied, the 250€ compensation may apply for each case.

In summary: three situations trigger the 250€ payment on Air France Genoa-Paris: late arrival over 180 minutes, last-minute cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. Determine your situation right now.

What are the conditions for Air France to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Genoa airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air France (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Genoa, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air France compensation

Don't be misled by Air France's vague terms: a unannounced or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Genoa, assistance (meals/hotel) stays owed Air France. Never forget this.

What are your rights at Genoa airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport becomes your temporary home because of Air France, know that your basic needs must be met by the airline. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

If you already paid for a hotel at Genova / Sestri Cristoforo Colombo Airport due to Air France's fault, collect every receipt. You are entitled to refund of every euro spent on top of the 250€ indemnity.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air France?

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
